American Airlines starts offering Aircell's GoGo in-flight broadband service on some domestic flights starting this morning. The service will only be offered to passengers on Boeing 767-200 aircraft nonstop flights between New York and San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, and New York and Miami. If all goes well, American has said they'll offer the service on additional flights. Delta recently stated they'd offer the service on their entire fleet by 2009.

After spending $31 million on spectrum, Aircell installed 92 EVDO cell sites aimed upward, designed to provide 3.1Mbps connectivity to each Gogo enabled plane that passes overhead. The Gogo service will cost $12.95 for cross-country flights, and $9.95 on flights of three hours or less. The company says they plan to deploy some 500 antennas, giving them the capacity to support 250,000 broadband users at any one time.
